• "Traditionally WebQuests have an introduction, a process, a task, a list of resources, a conclusion, and an evaluation (Spartanburg County).”
• Often teachers create a simulated career experience for the students to undergo during the Web Quest, such as, “You are an astronaut planning a trip to the moon.” (Concept to Classroom, 2004)

Advantages to using WebQuests-
The major benefits of Web Quests are: “Tomorrow's workers will need to be able to work in teams. Individuals will move through several careers in the course of a lifetime. The issues facing citizens will become more and more complex, and societal problems will resist easy fixes or black-and-white categorization, The amount of information available to everyone will grow at an accelerating pace; much of it will come directly from a growing number of sources without filtering or verification. (Concept to Classroom, 2004)” The use of Web Quests teaches students how to become lifelong independent learners.
